Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 357 initiates Operation Plan No. 3, using offense instead of defense, and bringing the war t

The news of Li Yunlong and Lin Zhenhua's injuries spread throughout the base like a whirlwind. The Japanese spies who learned the news were extremely excited. They planned to sneak into the field hospital to carry out an assassination, but when they saw that the field hospital was surrounded by people, they were dumbfounded. They had no choice but to lie dormant again and wait for the opportunity to come.

"Mr. Matsuyama, our people can't get into the field hospital now, and there's no way to find out the true situation of Li Yunlong and Lin Zhenhua. I think we should report this matter to General Yingzuo and let him give us the next instructions!" The Japanese spy Nozawa Uro, who went by the alias Tianwa, suggested with relief.

"Nozawa-kun, no matter how big the incident is at the base, we should not pay attention to it. General Yingzuo's order to us is to climb up at all costs. Our intelligence team is required to remain silent. We will not participate in this incident."

"If I hadn't persuaded you last night, you would have turned into a corpse long ago. At the same time, Zhao Gang would have traced the whole thing back to me. From today on, you'd better behave yourself. Now you are just an ordinary soldier of the independent regiment, and you have a blood feud with the empire. You must forget your previous identity and be very brave in combat. You must also forget your original name. From now on, your name will be Tianwa. Do you hear me clearly?" Taro Matsuyama shouted angrily.

Nozawa Uro replied dejectedly: "Hi! I understand..."

Before Nozawa Uro could finish his words, Matsuyama Taro kicked him hard, leaned over to his ear, and cursed in a low voice: "Nozawa, you idiot, I told you that you are a Chinese now, you have to forget your original identity. If you make a mistake again next time, I will kill you personally and will never let you affect our group reporting team's lurking plan!"

Nozawa Uro replied with fear on his face: "Captain, I understand. I will fall asleep temporarily. Without orders, I will stay asleep forever!"

Taro Matsuyama nodded with satisfaction, and the two of them secretly left the street location and continued to carry out General Yingzo's lurking plan. At the critical moment, they would give Li Yunlong a fatal blow.

After learning that Li Yunlong and Lin Zhenhua were injured, many soldiers in the base immediately rushed to the field hospital to visit them, but were stopped by the soldiers guarding the hospital. Zhao Gang even issued a strict order not allowing anyone to visit them. This was done for the safety of Lin Zhenhua and Li Yunlong.

"Old Zhao, the situation is a bit bad now! Fortunately, we mobilized our troops in time yesterday, otherwise the college students might have been successfully assassinated by the Japanese spies. Just last night, we caught a Japanese spy hiding in the hospital, who was preparing to assassinate the college students. Fortunately, we stopped him in time, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable!" Ding Wei said with a look of fear.

Kong Jie also spoke up at this time: "The Japanese actually sent fighter planes here for the first time. Fortunately, there were only two reconnaissance planes, which were driven away by our fighter squadron. It was really dangerous!"

Zhao Gang's expression did not improve, but became even darker. He said with concern, "The Japanese actually sent out a reconnaissance plane for the first time. It seems that they have suspected us. The fact that Lao Li and his team were followed by Yamamoto's special forces when they came back this time is a good proof of this!"

"Let's go to the hospital right now and have a good talk with Lao Li about what to do next. I'm afraid we can't hide the fact that we bombed the Japanese homeland this time, so we might as well admit it openly and have a good fight with the Japanese!" Ding Wei slammed the teacup in his hand heavily on the table and said angrily.

Kong Jie also felt that he couldn't be a coward, so he acted like he was ready to risk it all and said, "What Lao Ding said makes a lot of sense. Since the Japs have already found out, it's useless for us to deny it. We might as well admit it openly. This will boost our morale and show our determination to the Japs, letting them know that we are not to be trifled with!"

Zhao Gang did not continue talking about this topic. After handing over the matters at hand, he took the two of them to the field hospital, ready to discuss with Li Yunlong how to deal with the upcoming retaliation by the Japanese.

After Li Yunlong was treated, the bullet in his body had been taken out, and half of his body was wrapped in gauze, like a zongzi. After learning the purpose of Zhao Gang and the other two, Li Yunlong's face became very ugly. He really didn't expect the situation to be so bad.

Just when Li Yunlong was about to speak, Lin Zhenhua was carried in by two soldiers. Compared with Li Yunlong, Lin Zhenhua was more seriously injured. He was wrapped like a dumpling. Except for his mouth and eyes, his whole body was wrapped tightly.

They didn't expect Lin Zhenhua to come over at this time, so they quickly helped to put down the wooden bed where Lin Zhenhua was lying, and then asked a few questions in haste. After confirming that there was no problem, they started talking.

"According to the intelligence Xu Zhongyi just passed back, Ping'an County is very peaceful, which is totally out of character. Apart from the reconnaissance planes sent by the Japanese to investigate our base, we have not seen any movement from them so far. I don't know why, the less movement the Japanese make, the more uneasy I feel."

"According to my previous analysis, our bombing of the Japanese homeland has been discovered by the Japanese. A few days ago, the Second Transport Aircraft Squadron risked its life to return from the transfer station, and eight planes were shot down by the Japanese on the way. In the end, only three of them landed safely at Maoershan Airport. This can be seen as the Japanese's revenge against us."

"The air transport line we had built with great difficulty has now been completely blocked by the Japanese. We have suspended all transactions with Chen Minggeng, and all the medicines we produced have been stockpiled to prepare for the upcoming war!"

"After the execution of Operation Boomerang, we have been mobilizing troops and supplies these days. The anti-aircraft guns have also been mobilized. The use of automatic loaders has greatly increased the firing speed of anti-aircraft guns. Even if the Japanese fighter planes attack in large numbers, we will still be able to fight."

"The transfer of machines to the arsenal has been completed, and the transferred equipment has been officially put into production. Some machine tools that can produce independently continue to remain in the arsenal. The production capacity of our arsenal has now recovered to 80% of the original capacity, and it is expected to be fully restored in another half a month."

"There are no problems with the resettlement of the victims. After the central heating was adopted, no victims froze to death due to the cold, and the troops did not suffer any non-combat casualties. The only problem we have now is the armored unit. For some reason, the gasoline engine has not been able to start successfully. We have no choice but to build an armored room. The temperature inside is 30 to 40 degrees. Two tanks and two armored vehicles can be parked at a time to complete the engine starting work inside."

"Even our air force fighters have encountered similar problems. In the end, we could only use the method taught to us by college students, which is to start the engine once every hour. This ensures that our fighters can be deployed at any time, which can greatly reduce the life of the engine. In the past two days, two Thunder fighters have been retired from active service. The situation is very serious."

Zhao Gang explained in detail the problems they were currently facing. After hearing that the engine was difficult to start, Lin Zhenhua did not feel any surprise. Gasoline engines are difficult to start in winter, and the gasoline they used contained many impurities and the quality of the oil was not high, so it was indeed very difficult to start.

"Lao Zhao, I had anticipated this situation a long time ago, but we don't have a way to synthesize diesel now. If we want to get diesel, we can only get it by refining petroleum. Now we synthesize gasoline, so we have to use gasoline engines. I told you before that if the weather is going to be cold, we can only start the engine by roasting it with fire. At that time, many people didn't take it seriously and thought I was joking. In fact, I wasn't joking. What I said was the truth!"

"Armored vehicles and tanks are not as light as three-wheeled motorcycles. If they are difficult to start, they have to be pushed by people. Zhang Dabiao should have a deep understanding of this. It is still difficult to solve the technical problem of coal-to-gasoline synthesis in a short period of time. What we need to do now is to build more insulated rooms for the parking of armored vehicles. This is the only way at present."

"As for our fighter jets, we can only use the stupid method. We start the engine once an hour, let it run for ten minutes and then stop. This is also a last resort. At worst, we can replace the engine when the time comes. This will not affect the life of the aircraft."

"In addition, our airport has built six hydraulic catapults. You must be careful not to let the hydraulic oil freeze. The existence of hydraulic catapults can save lives at critical moments. It only takes a short time to complete the launch of fighter jets. The maintenance of them must not be relaxed. Replace them immediately if there is a problem. These six hydraulic catapults are a major insurance for our base and must be given enough attention."

"Once the Japanese are dispatched and their bombers bomb our airport, it will become very difficult for our fighters to take off and land on the airport runway. That is when the hydraulic catapult will be used. It only takes a short slide of a few dozen meters for the fighter to take off, which can greatly increase the speed of the fighters and greatly improve our combat efficiency."

"As for Operation Boomerang, there is nothing to hide now. I think the Japanese should have guessed and confirmed that it was us who did it. They were just suspicious before, but after what happened to me and Lao Li, the Japanese are no longer suspicious, but have confirmed it."

"All of this is within our consideration. There is no need to wait any longer. Immediately activate Operation Plan No. 3 and send out our armored forces to first eliminate the enemy's outposts and turrets on the periphery. We must take the initiative and adopt an offensive approach to bring the war to the enemy's occupied areas."

Zhao Gang replied angrily: "College student, you may not know that the Japanese have built four blockades outside our base and created a no-man's land!"
